The Drill Down with Peter Schweizer

On the most recent episode of The Drill Down, Schweizer and co-host Eric Eggers agree that Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle should be fired. The attempt on Trump’s life this past weekend in Butler County, Pennsylvania exposed the failure of Trump’s Secret Service detail to properly secure the venue where Trump spoke. Five minutes into his speech, shots were fired from the roof of a buildin...

As Biden dead-enders battle with Democrats trying to push the President off of the Democratic ticket, investigative journalist Peter Schweizer says he’s seen enough: “Joe Biden will not be the Democratic nominee,” Schweizer says on the most recent episode of the Drill Down podcast. “He will be forced to step down by the big money.” Schweizer and co-host Eric Eggers, fresh from guest-hosting Sean H...

After President Joe Biden’s disastrous performance in the debate last week, Democratic politicos have been frantically gaming out alternatives to a Biden candidacy against former President Donald Trump. The media wing of the Democratic Party, shocked by Biden’s feeble performance, has editorialized for the 81-year-old Biden to step aside. Once-reliable media mouthpieces such as Joe Scarborough of...

Boeing Co. has had more than its share of struggles in the past few years. The airplane and aerospace manufacturing giant has become a national joke owing to quality problems on its commercial aircraft that resulted in bolts missing or loose on cabin doors and other mishaps. Most recently, Boeing is being called to account by Congress for problems related to the Starliner, which recently got stuck...

Two connected news stories from the past week show how illegal immigration into the United States is changing the country, and that the Biden administration seems to want it that way. Mexico’s National Institute of Migration reported this week that between January and May of this year, nearly 1.4 million undocumented immigrants from a staggering 177 countries traveled through Mexico to the United...

The big news this week was Hunter Biden’s conviction by a Delaware jury on three federal felony gun charges. For Peter Schweizer, though, that looks more like pulling over a bank robber to give him a speeding ticket. The jury took three hours to agree on guilty verdicts for all charges in what proved a cut-and-dry case. Hunter Biden bought a gun, then lied on the background form by checking “no” w...

Washington’s wheels are greased with money, but knowing where to point the grease gun is a job for professionals. On this episode of The Drill Down, co-host Eric Eggers welcomes Steve Stewart, a vice president of the Government Accountability Institute, to tell the fascinating – if expensive – story about contaminated water at Camp Lejeune and personal injury lawyers.

The Deep State is real– a swamp full of disease regardless of who is in office. Like any swamp, it festers because it doesn’t move. But when reformers are appointed to run offices or agencies within the swampy backwaters of the Deep State, swamp creatures move like lightning. They go after the reformers. The Drill Down’s guest on the most recent episode, Prof. Mark Moyar, has the scars to prove it...

Solutions for Improving Election Integrity

Pro-Hamas protests at universities around the country exposed the hidden organizers who are buying the tents, printing the signs, and in many cases, paying professional protesters to incite and radicalize students. Various campus student groups and pro-Palestinian organizations receive funding from Saudi Arabia and Qatar, which also pay for their students to attend American schools. But there are...

The Biden administration is using federal government resources, and taxpayer money, to conduct the sort of mudslinging that has traditionally been done by political campaigns. The tactic is known as “lawfare.” That’s the focus of the most recent episode of The Drill Down, where hosts Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers go into the weeds to show how the Biden administration is coordinating all four of...

A new report by the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has validated a key claim in Peter Schweizer’s latest book, Blood Money – finding persuasive evidence that China has been subsidizing the manufacturing and exporting of illicit fentanyl precursor chemicals and other synthetic narcotics through tax rebates and other means. Schweizer welcomed the validation of his book’s...

Joining Peter and Eric on the Drill Down podcast, Justice responded to recent statistics showing the average rate of chronic absenteeism from school nationwide has risen from a pre-pandemic level of 15% to 26% last year. This means missing at least 10 percent of a school year, or about 18 days, for any reason.

What is wrong with registering people to vote? Who could be against that?

The Government Accountability Institute just discovered that one of the most notorious Chinese gangsters, a man known as “White Wolf,” was somehow left off a 2021 executive order by President Joe Biden listing persons and companies sanctioned against doing business here. That may be because “White Wolf” has connections. Peter Schweizer and co-host Eric Eggers welcome Price Sukhia, the GAI research...

Election integrity usually revolves around ballot access, the handling of absentee ballots, and voter ID. But beyond the issues of “ballot harvesting,” there’s another means of tampering with elections – Big Tech censorship, much of it done by Google, the dominant search engine on the internet. Outkick’s Bobby Burack joins Peter and Eric to discuss.

The revelations about China’s “cognitive warfare on America found in Peter Schweizer’s newest book, “Blood Money,” continue to spur action in Washington. In the past week, the House Government Oversight Committee has announced an investigation into China’s ongoing efforts to infiltrate and influence the US. And the full House just overwhelmingly passed a bill that would force the owners of TikTok...

“Peter Schweizer's new book names China’s fentanyl strategy after a Chinese proverb: "Murder with a borrowed knife." On this week’s episode of The Drill Down, Schweizer and co-host Eric Eggers speak to Derek Maltz, the former Special Agent in Charge of Special Operations at the Department of Justice and the Chief of the New York Drug Enforcement Task Force. In his work, Maltz saw that "borrowed kn...

“Watch a fire from across the river.” China has been busy sowing and fanning social division in the Unted States. It is part of their war strategy to undermine America’s social fabric and there are several different fronts in that war. On the latest episode of The Drill Down, host Peter Schweizer and co-host Eric Eggers take us through the battle plans and show us some of their tactics.

Blood Money China's Role in the Fentanyl Crisis

The Drill Down crew from the Government Accountability Institute is back behind the mic to talk about the latest on James Biden, a failed healthcare company, and a shady $200,000 "loan." James Biden testified before the House Oversight Committee this week as part of the ongoing GOP investigation into the Biden family influence-peddling scheme.

Will Peter's New Book Shake Up the Biden Campaign?

The cultural Marxism that wrecked so many of our universities claimed another victim: America’s spies. That is the premise for a powerful new book on the CIA and the FBI that takes on the question: how they went from being Cold War heroes to deep state villains? Author Michael Waller, himself a longtime veteran of the intelligence world, has just published a book called Big Intel, He joins Peter a...
